"Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"The lone bandit 'Miemen' who has been running rampant in our Western Wilderness for many years has caused big trouble this time and ran away."

"Huh? That guy is a first-class ruthless person. Back then, he had a grudge against the smugglers from the Iron Sand Chamber of Commerce. The other party found a killer to chase him. As a result, he not only killed the killer, but also killed the entire Iron Sand Chamber of Commerce when he came back... This A ruthless person would run away, who did he offend?"

"He has made two enemies, one is not very powerful, and the other is very powerful. Which one do you want to know first?"

"Let's talk about the not-so-powerful ones first."

"Black Ax."

"...Black Ax?! Are you talking about the group of professional criminals who believe in the poisonous battle ax (another name for the God of Gangsters)? Are they also considered 'not very powerful'? You must be kidding me!"

"Who are you kidding? The guy from 'Miemen' took 30,000 gold coins and four pieces of magic equipment as a deposit, and hired one hundred and fifty elite Black Axes to help him attack the cruel hunter's temple. Black Ax did something. , I asked him to get the balance, but I couldn’t find anyone else.”

"Tsk! You are indeed a 'family annihilator'! You are so courageous! You even dare to deceive the black axe! Then who is the other enemy? Don't tell me that it is a certain His Majesty."

"You guessed it right, the other enemy is His Majesty the Cruel Hunter."

"... It's just an attack on the temple. This kind of thing is not uncommon in our Western Wilderness. As for provoking the gods behind the temple? You are bluffing me again!"

"Who are you bluffing? That guy killed the chief priest of his temple and desecrated the idol. The cruel hunters have issued oracles. Whoever among the believers can kill him will directly reserve a seat in the Kingdom of God! Who else can do it except the believers? Kill him and reward him with a piece of legendary equipment!"

"...Is it too late for me to convert now?"

"Go and sleep. Even if you change your faith, will you be able to find the guy who 'killed the whole family'? Taking a step back, even if you find him, it's still not certain who will kill whom!"

"... Of course I can't beat him without enough benefits, but as soon as I think of such a huge benefit, I might burst into potential and kill him with one hammer!"

"Just blow it! If you're really brave, wipe your rusty hammer clean. Let's go hunting black monitor lizards tomorrow. Do you dare?"

"Of course I dare! You are not afraid of death, so what should I be afraid of!"

Similar conversations took place in almost every tavern in the western part of the Wilderness Empire, the area adjacent to the Great Gobi. The adventurers really admired Mr. "The Exterminator" who caused a big disaster and then ended up unknown. There are many suicides in the world, but there are not many who can level up the suicides, create tricks and reach a state!

Naturally, there were many people who were looking for him all over the street like hungry wolves. But no matter how they searched, even if they dug three feet into the ground to reach the sewer, or climbed to a high mountain and looked around, or they caught all the people wearing hooded robes and beat them up and took off their coats, they could not find the man who had once The figure of a lone thief haunts this place.

It's not like no one has found a powerful spellcaster to help him and used prophecy spells to detect his location, but the results he got were all chaotic, as if shrouded in clouds and mist.

Maybe, that guy is actually dead

People speculate like this, but they are not sure.

Did that bold and clever guy really die silently somewhere, with no one even taking his body to claim the reward

"Ah!" A scream echoed over the wilderness.

"If you're a man, just grit your teeth and cry like that!" Sui Xiong angrily scolded a spineless guy.

As he spoke, he raised the tentacle holding the big wooden stick again and smashed it into Lei's face.

Blood spurted out, tendons were broken, and bones were torn.

Lei couldn't help but scream loudly again, but Sui Xiong was unmoved at all. He hit him with a healing spell and restored his vitality, followed by another blow.

After just one treatment with a stick, the muscles and bones of Lei's face were finally completely adjusted. Now, even his relatives and friends (assuming there are any) would not be able to recognize him in person.

"Look, the plastic surgery I gave you is amazing!" When Lei finally regained his breath, Sui Xiong condensed an ice mirror in front of him, reflecting his current appearance, "Now you can walk down the street with confidence. Come on, no one will recognize you anymore."

"Your Majesty Mask of the Void, your plastic surgery skills are truly unparalleled in the world. If you meet some of my good brothers next time, please be sure to give them plastic surgery as well!" Lei gritted his teeth and said, "I believe he will definitely be grateful to you. of… "

"There's no need to be grateful. To be honest, I don't like you, an evil man with bloody hands, and I don't want to waste time on your good brothers. The reason why I helped you with plastic surgery is just to avoid possible troubles on the road." Sui Xiong said as he transformed into a small jellyfish about a foot wide and landed on Lei's head like a hat, "Let's go, we still have a long way to go."

Lei sighed helplessly, and walked over the mountains and ridges towards the south, carrying this dangerous object that made his hair stand on end.

After walking for a while, Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask: "I said... I knocked you so many times, did you have any inspiration, suddenly broke a bottleneck that had been there for a long time, and you were about to achieve a great success?"

"No."

"So, are there any thoughts like repentance and repentance, the prodigal son turning back? What happened yesterday is like dying yesterday, and what is happening today is like being born today. I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person... and so on?"

"No."

"...It's really rotten wood that cannot be carved!"

After walking for a while, Sui Xiong couldn't help but asked again: "Lei, I have a very powerful trick that can help others abandon evil and do good, and change their ways. Even if they can't go to heaven, they can at least get atonement." opportunity to avoid going to hell. Are you interested?"

"I'm living a good life now and haven't changed my mind."

"If you are like this now, you will definitely go to hell after death!"

"You deserve to go to hell. If a bad guy like me doesn't have to go to hell, then there must be something wrong with the world!"

Sui Xiong was stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed: "I can't tell! So you are still an angry young man! You also feel that something is wrong with this world, right? I feel the same way! I didn't expect that we actually have a common language!"

"...Sorry, I don't want to speak the same language as a jellyfish!"

"Hey, I'm a god! Isn't it good to have a common language with the gods?"

"Oh, let me correct you. I don't want to share the same language with a god who looks like a jellyfish and has a camouflage hat on my head." Lei replied expressionlessly, "Please go talk to your followers about this kind of thing." Let’s talk about it, I’m sure they will agree with you unconditionally.”

"... Lei, has anyone ever said that you are boring?"

"Yes, a lot."

"Then add me!"

After walking a little further, they were already far away from the Great Gobi Desert and the Western Wilderness, and entered the depths of the Greystone Mountains.

The Graystone Mountains are famous for being rich in limestone mines. In Sui Xiong's opinion, the so-called limestone mines are something similar to limestone. Its texture is not strong, but it is easy to mine. It will turn into powder after being burned and can be re-solidified by adding water and mud. Although it is not as solid as rock, it is no less solid than ordinary bricks. Considering the cost of production and transportation, , is an extremely suitable building material.

Because of this, there are many quarries on both sides of the Graystone Mountains. The Gold Coin Federation in the west, the Wilderness Empire in the east, and the Eagle Kingdom in the south all have many roads and houses built with graystone and mud. Mountains bring a special picture to the world.

The inner side of the Graystone Mountains is very dangerous. There are various dangerous monsters here, and some particularly ferocious special races live there. Adventurers generally don’t go far into the mountains because they are afraid of conflicting with them. Unnecessary risks.

In this mountain range, the most common dangerous creature is the alien species called "Vicious Goblin". They are about half the height of ordinary adults, but their muscles are extremely developed and they have a variety of innate magical abilities.

For example, everyone can master "stone skins" that require a certain level of wizards to master. This spell will form a protective layer as hard as rock near the caster's body, which can withstand many attacks, making the goblins who originally lacked armor due to backward technology comparable to fully armed warriors.

In addition, vicious goblins also have the "bloodthirsty" ability and the "violent" ability. The former allows them to become more courageous in battle, and can absorb the vitality of the dead in battle to quickly recover their injuries and physical strength; The latter allows them to gain astonishing strength and speed in a short period of time. Some particularly strong ferocious goblins can even shake Warcraft after going berserk. Compared with their size, this damn power is simply a foul!

Just ordinary ferocious goblins are already so powerful, not to mention that they also have their own civilization system, various powerful special powers, and even their own gods to protect them. Therefore, when adventurers see their traces in the mountains and forests, most of them will choose to stay away and not conflict with them.

But this certainly does not include Sui Xiong.

"You said that the evil goblin is a very violent creature, cruel, aggressive, and unreasonable?" The floating jellyfish floating in the air waved its tentacles and said doubtfully, "That's totally wrong! Look at them Isn’t it very reasonable and hospitable?”

Lei looked at the fierce goblins who were painted in colorful colors, jumping around them, and constantly bowing to Sui Xiong. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, and his heart was filled with helplessness.

How cruel you are! What about your rage! How arrogant you are! You are unreasonable! Just to meet a god who is willing to get along with you, don't you even want to have moral integrity

Where has your dignity and pride as a barbarian race gone? Aren't you afraid of the wrath of your gods in heaven by so blatantly trying to please outsiders

You don't know why you are trying to tear me down! Did you know that I was bragging for you not long ago? Do you know that I was just talking about how brave and tough you are! Do you know that I was already prepared for a bloody battle or even to die here!

Brothers, you are all here to fool around. You are so uncooperative, I feel very tired...
